"Meridian" 1991 film score from master composer Pino Donaggio!

Hi everyone. Here is the music score for the Full Moon horror-fantasy film "Meridian" from 1991 by Pino Donaggio! That's the year I graduated from high school so I remember renting the flick that year or the next. Of course being from Full Moon, the film itself sucks. Yet, composer Pino Donaggio's beautiful film score is the superb aspect. Of course, he is the master of themes & melodies, chart topping pop hits, and imaginative & memorable film scores.

He's a superb singer, violinist, and composer. His use of an orchestra with synthesizers and eeire female harmonies are other reasons his scores stand out from other composers. "The Howling", "Tourist Trap" (2 of my favorite films), "Piranha", & a bunch of Brian DePalma film scores, etc. are all in his resume.

The tracks that I've highlighted in green in the track list are my favorite tracks .The other tracks, although just as awesome, have certain dramatic moments (it's a horror film of course) that pop up which can become jarringly loud and disrupt your listening flow. So you could make yourself a playlist of only those tracks I highlighted, or just make your own mix. Search for the hidden link to download the file and enjoy!

"Big Trouble In Little China" score from 1986

Here is another superb score by John Carpenter from one of his best films: "Big Trouble In Little China". This score is with his multi-album collaborator Alan Howarth. I saw this movie at the theatre with my parents in 1986. I had already loved John Carpenter's movies as a young child at that point and when I saw this film, it kind of threw me. I didn't understand the comedy in it, as it very much is in an almost slapstick way. Yet as I got older, I realized the masterpiece of comedy, eerieness, mysteriousness and of course great action all wrapped up in one. All of the supernatural & creature elements make it fill out perfectly. This movie is so much fun that I could watch it over and over again. Jack Burton is an awesome character - he kicks ass and likes to goof around, and he makes his own path. This stellar score rules along with the Coupe De Villes (John & his buddies) tracks. There are some bonus tracks from Alan Howarth & 1 from "Escape From New York". Enjoy!

"The Dunwich Horror" 1970 rare score from Les Baxter

Oh yes folks, this is a real gem I got here for ya. Les Baxter's phenomenal and highly imaginatively suited 1970 score to the film "The Dunwich Horror". This is one of my favorite old horror films as taking on an H.P. Lovecraft story doesn't get much better than this, especially for 1970. The film very ambitiously pulls off some effective, stellar stuff. The atmosphere, the alien eerieness of Dunwich, the relentless obsessions of the Necronomicon - all the yin to the yang of the innocent Sandra Dee. This superb score rounds it out and makes it all tight of course. Check out the film if you haven't seen it before/in a while. Then enjoy this score, after you download it from my hidden link to another plane of existence!

"Dreamscape": The 1984 film score

Ahhhh, "Dreamscape". If you saw this film as an American boy in 1984 and didn't love it, you weren't an American boy in 1984. This movie just all around rules and is very impressive still to this day. Here I give you the wonderful, dreamy, electronic OOP film score by Maurice Jarre. The composition of each musical piece (sometimes playing on the main theme) is really the work of genius. You've got great melodies & the AWESOME main theme, weird changes & instrumentation, and an overall controlled lunacy which is highly adventurous, subtle, exquisite, horrific, pleasant, beautiful and fun all wrapped up neatly. You should watch the movie first so you can connect the musical passages visually. Hunt for the hidden link unless you can download the file with your mind. Enjoy!

Ahhhnnnolllddd is: "The Running Man" in 1987

Let's face it. If your an American guy my age, Ahnold rules. He always did. "The Running Man" is of course one of the Ahnold ass-kickin' classics. Aside from politics, which is a tough area to deal with and takes a lot of deep layer peeling for us citizens to really know what the fine print says, he still rules. Political parties are bullshit - unfortunately we have to appoint officials that fall within these stupid little categories that make people feel snug & cozy about (just like American pop-culture). There may be things instilled or backed by "The Governator" that look good or look bad on the surface. Yet, if you really want to talk smack about politics, then you gotta know what the hell you're talking about. I know a lot more from over the last couple of years and the most important thing I've learned is this: You can't always just listen to what people say, you have to investigate the policies and propostions yourself. It doesn't matter if you're for any particular party (except for appointing a certain position to tip the balance in an area where a party may be failing), you just have to know that many good reform decisions have a downside to them. Some are frankly just the right thing to do and have no downside. Some politicians are hollow and demonic, some are stupid, some are both, some want to do the right thing and are patriotic, some are stupid, some are both. Also, religion CAN NOT influence political decisions. For example, if you speak to a school teacher about education reform, you must know about where they live, what are the circumstances, what grade level they teach, if they get reform in one way does it hurt something else, is this person religious?, etc. I have friends & family that are school teachers in California, but I have yet to ask them some particulars on Schwarzenegger's conduct. I'd like to think that our "Governator" wants to do the right things. Some say he is evil now, some say he is good and cares. At least for kicking cinema-ass and "pumping you up", Ahnold is the man.

Anyway, here I give you the awesome, out-of-print original score by one of my favorite composers: our main man Harold Faltermeyer. Hunt for the hidden link and have fun!

Here Governor Ventura and "The Governator" have a disagreement on education policy reform.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNOLLLLDDDDD!!!

"Piranha" 1978: UPDATED! score by Pino Donaggio

Hi folks! Here I bring you 5 of the 16 tracks (UPDATE! See below to get the ENTIRE score) from the 1978 family fun classic "Piranha". As with "Jaws", young children find this film very soothing. And who could blame 'em, aren't these little critters just so cute & cuddly you could just squeeze 'em? Maybe not as cute as a 25 foot Great White shark or an adorable 40 foot Megalodon, but hey... it's not a contest!

This score is by of course one of the greatest composers of all time & space: Pino Donaggio

Hunt for the hidden link above & enjoy!

I posted this mainly at the request of my good buddy & sideshow freak "The Fiji Mermaid"

he/she/it is also very cute

UPDATE! Our buddy & fellow blogger steve2000a shared this link to get the FULL 16 track "Piranha" score in 2 parts at: http://u2n2.com/article.asp?id=26667

Thanks dude!

The Omega Man score 1971

Hi all! I hope some of you have visited and downloaded my 1st share file of the "Modern Problems" theme song. I have a bad flu and I'm sick as a dog (what does that mean anyway?) as I post this. Now, here is a very special treat for you. This is the out-of-print score to the epic 1971 film "The Omega Man" starring the immortal Charlton Heston. This cd release was very limited at 3,000 pressed and I got it right after it came out in the early 2000s. It is very expensive to get your hands on one - now I am passing this wonderful score on to you for free.

One of my favorite and one of the greatest books ever written is "I Am Legend" by Richard Matheson - one of the greatest fiction writers of all time (his son, Richard Christian Matheson is also a great writer). The book was made into the movie "The Last Man On Earth" starring Vincent Price in 1964 (the film that inspired "Night Of The Living Dead"). The character's name of Robert Neville was changed to Dr. Robert Morgan. This is a great film. Then, another great film from the book was made in 1971 - "The Omega Man". The character's name is the same as in the book.

So, we have two of the greatest actors of all time each playing the role of Robert Neville. Now, in 2007, the film "I Am Legend" will come out appallingly starring Will Smith (Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally supposed to play the role in this remake). Let's see: Vincent Price, Charlton Heston, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Will Smith - something at the end of that grouping seems way out of place. Remember how Smith put a skid mark stain on the epic "The Wild Wild West" TV series character of Jim West in that stupid movie from 1999? Let's see: Robert Conrad, Will Smith... ARGHH! (see my post thoughts about "I Am Legend" below)

Anyway, read the book, see the first two films, and enjoy this beautiful score from "The Omega Man" composed by Ron Granier and reminisce at all of Neville's dealings with "The Family" and his solitary struggle as the last man on earth. The link is embedded in a pic above. Enjoy!

ATTENTION! 1-3-2008: I just re-upped this link and... Update: THE WRITERS DID A NICE JOB WITH "I AM LEGEND" - IT WAS COOL! WILL SMITH WAS SO-SO IN IT. - Jason
